So sorry
I'm trying very, very hard to feel sorry for you as you hobble back to your room, toting your stomachs in your hands after yet another fabulous feast--NOT!! Keep having fun for us!

Catching Up
I just finished reading three of your posts---what a great trip you are having! I am enjoying being an armchair traveler along with you.

walking
perhaps a foot massage is in your future when I get to town - an exchange for dinner :)

When in Rome...
The ights, sounds, and food sound so welcoming! Is it true--only bad beer in Rome? Enjoy!

It sounds as though it is a great trip you both are having...Love the pictures and enjoying the blog.

Jim at the pool
You guys are awesome. Happy anniversary. The photo of Jim at the pool is one of the best - that's a vacation!

Nice!

Have Fun!
I am enjoying your visit very much. I certainly need the break. Thanks! Laurie

Finding your way
If it's any help, as you approach a new town you should a a sign that says "Centre" or "Centre Ville," which means "town center" that way. Follow that sign and you should end up in the center of town, which is where the local tourist office will be. You are likely to find an English speaker or at least some tourist materials in English there. Also, please note that if you are purchasing gas and/or want to use the bathroom at any of the gas stations, it is considered the height of rudeness not to stop and at least say hello to the proprietor first ("Bonjour, Je voyage à . Puis-je s'il vous plaît utiliser vos toilettes? (Pronounced approximately as "Pwee zhje seel vu play utilizay vo twalette?"

Fine
We found out in Ireland that "fine" meant not raining. It could be a hurricane or snowing, but as long as there was no rain, the weather was "fine." I am noticing that a lot of the local language you have experienced in Australia is the same in England, and occasionally, Ireland. We must be the odd ducks who need to sort it out, eh? Sounds like you are having a real vacation- good for you! Enjoy. Cheers! Max

Woolworths?
I had no idea there were any left on the planet. They closed here years ago and the properties were sold off. Interesting that in Oz they sell groceries.
